Gurus? Indeed, I think not! The word Guru makes me want to wretch! Especially when it is used in reference to the so called internet big dogs, the high hype little substance so called heavy hitters that make thier money online by preying on the hopes and dreams of others not nearly as savy as the heavy hitters are. The so called gurus, HA! the Experts, HA!  While there may be a few out there, many that actually are experts or gurus in their fields, Most are not Most are created by doing joint ventures with each other and recommending each other to their downlines and promoting each other to others etc. thus creating the expert or guru mentality amongst the unsuspecting public. Experts???? HA! I'll tell you what an "expert" is: An Expert is a 2 year old child that messed their pants a week ago and their parents haven't discovered it yet. Thats an EXPERT! Gurus are : gu·ru    Pronunciation Key  (gr, g-r) n. pl. gu·rus Hinduism & Tibetan Buddhism. A personal spiritual teacher. A teacher and guide in spiritual and philosophical matters. A trusted counselor and adviser; a mentor. A recognized leader in a field: the guru of high finance. An acknowledged and influential advocate, as of a movement or idea: “In a culture that worships slimness, he was the Guru of Lean” (Erica Abeel). [Hindi guru, from Sanskrit guru, from guru-, heavy. See gwer-1 in Indo-European Roots.] guru n 1: a Hindu or Buddhist religious leader and spiritual teacher 2: each of the first ten leaders of the Sikh religion [syn: Guru] 3: a recognized leader in some field or of some movement; "a guru of genomics" Source: WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University guru <job> An expert, especially in "Unix guru". Implies not only wizard skill but also a history of being a knowledge resource for others. Less often, used (with a qualifier) for other experts on other systems, as in "VMS guru". Armand Morin of the gogenerator,ebookgenerator, ecovergenerator, and all the other generator programs he's thrown together et;al  fame is not a guru or an expert But he does produce a ton of application software, 2 pieces of which I purchased, both of which had non-functioning  modules that were never fixed, even after 2 years on the market. Yet he continues to throw new software to the masses, hopefully some of it will be checked by quality control to see that it is fully functional I will not purchase anymore of his products to be his alpha tester and find the problems before he releases and sells it as betaware (read fully functional HA!)  So if you evwer see him referred to as a guru or and expert, ask his mom to check his diaper HA! The only thing Armand did correctly was refund my purchase on one and I'm still waiting for the refund on the other 1:50:56 PM    comment []

PHISHERS / SCAMMERS and THIEVES This organization is a prime mover and shaker in the Phishing Industry. one of their specialtys is trying to capture e-bay account information. If you contact their abuse email address you receive an apology and a statement telling you that the offending account has been suspended. This is clearly a load of bull pucky, as they then continue to attempt to Phish the same account the next day. The amazing thing is the address they are trying to Phish does not now nor has it ever had an ebay account. Truly demonstreates the sheer stupidity of the Phishers :blob1: OrgName: GearHost Inc.

Hmmmmmmmm I must be obbsessed! or at the very least posessed! Here it is 12:23 am and I had to get out of bed to rant! Aren't ya just sick and tired of all the news interviewers and political pundits that haven't got a clue to how to interview??? The fact is they ask questions in a manner that allows the individual being interviewed to continue to propagate the lies they have imbedded themselves in! Think about it ! A good sharp interviewer asks questions that he/she already knows the truthful answer too! Therefore the best way to interview someone it to ask them the hard questions, but allow them to only give yes or no answers, no bullshit speculation or pollyanna as our politicans are so often inclined to provide! Ask the question and then tell them yes or no. true or false! Rofl Gawd what a tizzy that would put them all in ! Ok going back to bed now 12:29:57 AM    comment []
